Immediacy of fulfilled living

This refers to the living in the present that fulfilled living entails. In such a state the individual responds immediately to any situation which prevents itself. Being fully awake, the intellect and the emotions which might otherwise dwell on the past or the future react appropriately and urgently to what is required. Thus one cries at what is sad, laughs at what is happy, responds humanely to a particular need, independent of what has gone before or what is to follow.
